I graduated from the University of Iowa in May of 2004 with a BBA from the Henry B. Tippie College of Business. After graduation, I immediately began working with AXA Advisors in June of the same year in a mentorship as a member of the Marketing Associate Program. There I spent 18 months learning the business from a National Leader Corps (NLC) agent, John T. Mack www.johntmack.com. I then transitioned to a Financial Consultant with AXA where I continue to work with John T. Mack helping successful individuals and small businesses achieve their financial goals.
 
As an AXA Advisors financial professional, my goal is to deliver sound financial, investment and insurance strategies that are designed to help you take control of your future. Whether it's developing a financial plan, creating a customized executive benefits program for a business, implementing a needs-based insurance strategy or preparing a detailed asset allocation analysis, our mission is simple: to provide innovative and practical financial programs for our valued clients.
